Hagner Model EC1-X IR Digital Radiometer

Hagner Model EC1-X IR Digital Radiometer

The EC1-X IR has been designed for measurement of radiation levels in places where it is important
that the operator does not shade the detector. The EC1-X IR has the detector connected with a 2
meter long cable. An extension cable can also be connected.

The Hagner Digital Radiometer, model EC1-X IR, is a small, handy and easy-to-use instrument for
accurate measurement of radiation over a range of 0.01-20,000 W/m². With both automatic zeroing
and on/off switch, the only controls needed are a four-position range selection switch and a hold
button for retaining the display value.

Operation

The EC1-X IR is used exactly as the EC1. The detector can be connected or disconnected without
causing any damage to the instrument. Care should be taken to ensure that the cable is not twisted
when replacing the cable. It is recommended that the detector is rotated rather than winding the
cable around the detector.

To open the lid, press the forward part lightly downward with your thumb and at the same time pull
the latch upwards with the first two fingers of the same hand. The radiometer comes on when the
cover is opened and turns off when it is closed. Move the range switch to the range which will give
the greatest accuracy and read the display. The hold function keeps the reading on the display until
the hold button is released. Full instructions can be found on the inside of the cover.

Maintenance

The power source is a standard 9 Volt battery. To avoid battery leakage only alkaline batteries
should be used. When LOBAT appears on the display, it is time to replace the battery. However, the
radiometer can be used for approximately 20 hours longer before replacing is necessary.
Change the battery by removing the screw at the front edge of the cover plate, which permits the
plate to be lifted up and removed. When replacing it the lower edge of the plate must fit under the
two bosses at the lower edge of the case before it can be closed again. The white plastic disc over
the detector may be cleaned when necessary with a light damp cloth.

Calibration

The radiometer is carefully calibrated when delivered. As the light sensitive silicon diodes are
extremely stable over long periods of time recalibration every two-three years should, under normal

use of the instrument, be sufficient. If however there is any reason to believe that the instrument is
out of calibration, it can be returned to your stockist or the manufacturer for earlier control checks.

Please note

The detector is individually calibrated to the respective instrument and cannot be interchanged with
other detectors. Check carefully that the instrument number in the cover corresponds with the
number of the detector.
